Paul That said, do you think that brazil will get the chance of an extra event this time? There doesn't seem to have been the same sort of reaction to this decision as there was when the Multihull got dropped
I don't know if they will get the chance, but if they do, I bet they will choose to bring the Star back, regardless the public reation.
If the Star gets an extra medal from the IOC it will not be the first time. It didn't happen due to popular reaction in the past and if it happens now it will be due to political pressure from the organizers of the game. With Robert Scheidt and Torben Grael campaigning in the Star, Brazil's best shot at a medal in the entire 2016 games is if the Stars get an extra medal.
